Thursday, May 3

Today is Thursday of Dead Week, and it is the last full day of class. So, if you have not finished yet, you need to do that today! The class is over tomorrow, Friday, at noon. See the class calendar for details.

Finishing up. When you have the points you need (410/A, 360/B, 320/C, 301/D), just fill out the "Finished" form in Canvas, and you are good to go!

My schedule today. I'll be out of the office for most of the day today, but you should able to finish up everything you need to do at Canvas. If you have any questions, you can send me an email, and I'll get back to you if/when I'm back online today.

Project Stack. On Wednesday I managed to get through everything in the stack. Some of you may be turning in final revisions today, and there's no special checklist for that: you just read through the pages in your project to see if everything looks good to you, and then send in an email when you're done. That's the Week 15 Project assignment!

ICYMI: In Case You Missed It. Here are some of my favorite items from announcements earlier in the semester. The items below come from Week 10 and Week 11.

Video: And in the spirit of hugging the trees, I wanted to share this Maati Baani video in defense of the trees of Mumbai: Chipko Re.

Event on Campus: Looking for somewhere to study? Wagner is open 24 hours through May 11 (details). Find out more about this and other events at the Campus Calendar online.

May 3: Pete Seeger. Almost one hundred years ago today, on May 3 of 1919, Pete Seeger was born, and he left this world just a few years ago, in 2014. You can read more about Pete Seeger's career in this Wikipedia article, and I've included two videos here: a concert performance by Peter Seeger and Arlo Guthrie (son of Woody Guthrie), and a recent video from Amnesty International with Peter Seeger performing the Dylan classic, Forever Young.
